Summer Reading “extras” from Patti Sinclair
These songs are not in the summer manual. Our Summer Reading Workshop presenter, Patti Sinclair, was kind enough to provide these instructions for the Make a Splash-READ!. Enjoy!
A Sailor Went to Sea (whenever you say the word “sea,” make waves with hands; whenever you say the word “see,” hold your hand over your eyes to see)
A sailor went to sea, sea, sea
To see what (s)he could see, see, see
But all that (s)he could see, see, see
Was the bottom of the deep blue sea, sea, sea!
My Bonny (stand or sit on every ‘b’ word)
My Bonny lies over the ocean
My Bonny lies over the sea
My Bonny lies over the ocean
So bring back my Bonny to me
Bring back
Bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me!
Bring back
Bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me!
My Bottom (variation of “My Bonny” from Alaska; stand or sit on very ‘b’ word)
My bottom was bit by a black bear
My bottom was bit by a bear
My bottom was bit by a black bear
Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me
Bandage
Bandage
Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me for me
Bandage
Bandage
Won’t you bandage my boo boo for me
